StrengthsFinder is a commercial “strength assessment” test we did at my workplace. I was skeptical at first, anticipating horoscope-like results, and indeed it wasn’t too insightful for myself, as each of the five areas it identified I was strong in were pretty obvious to myself and anyone else who knew me. What was more helpful was some associated communal discussion about them and learning what my co-workers thought about me.
It could more more useful to others in seeking their comparative advantage in areas they may not have considered. But I have a feeling most LWers would probably get at least 3 of the 5 strengths it identified for me. I have made that doc public for anyone curious—it’s straight copy and paste from the assessment test text. The action items are pared down and personally focused from the full list though.
